Cover Story
The illustration on our cover is from the newly-published Robert Cormier novel Beyond the Chocolate War, (Gollancz, 0 575 03711 3, £7.95). The illustration is by Caroline Binch and shows in the centre Archie Costello, Assigner of the Vigils, holding the white ball which readers of The Chocolate War will remember as all important in deciding who undertakes the assignments that are required from certain unfortunate individuals. In this sequel new characters join him and the old return to play out Archie's last term at Trinity High. We are grateful to Gollancz for help in using this illustration.

Susanna Gretz's favourite bears and their dog take a trip to the supermarket armed with a shopping list. But as they go their separate ways the list is overlooked and the end result is total confusion about who is to get what. Fortunately the situation is saved by Andrew whose coming home presents supply the missing items. Unlike the bears, young readers or listeners will be quicker to spot both the whereabouts of the missing list and the forgotten purchases, and will relish the glut of ice cream along with the bears. Great fun.
